Mexico 3 Iceland 0: Layun scores brace in friendly win

Mexico recorded an impressive 3-0 win over Iceland in an international friendly in California Friday.

A brace from Miguel Layun after Marco Fabian's opener decided what was a tight encounter at Levi's Stadium as the nations continued their preparations for the World Cup.

Fabian struck with a wonderful free-kick in the first half, while Layun produced two terrific goals after the break.

The result extended Mexico's unbeaten run to four matches and, while they created little else, the performance was a boost.

The likes of Javier Hernandez, Guillermo Ochoa and Oribe Peralta started on the bench for Mexico, while Iceland were without injured Everton midfielder Gylfi Sigurdsson.
